What do you do with the GPD?
If you can believe it -- software development. It's not exactly a powerhouse but it can run Visual Studio.
However, I don't use very much anymore.
I… cannot believe it lol. Maybe with an external keyboard … I could. Please share a pic of your dev setup!
An external keyboard would defeat the purpose! The benefit of the GPD Pocket is that you can throw it in your pocket and pull it out the compute. Admittedly the keyboard sucks -- the size and weird layout aren't the biggest problems; it's actually not that great at registering all keypresses. However, I can get used to it while coding. I think the Pocket 2 would be a lot better machine for coding.
